If you want to merge I will support it if everything is US hosted even arenas between 2 OCE teams, if you want to ruin my BG experience you can ruin your arena one as well.

I personally wouldnât risk it, because then once again, Blizzard will be vilified and accused of not listening to the community.
But as an outsider, âTransferingâ seems pointless with the amount of vitriol garnered from when Oceanic was briefly merged with NA. It had barely any support, so why would people opt into transferring now all of the sudden?
Merge Oceanic plz

Merge OCE with NA again and I can guarantee people will still be unhappy with the queues because it wonât change. The only benefit is round the clock bgs (still with massive queues), and AV games. Itâs better to address participation/incentives.
At the moment OCE has the perfect opportunity to hopefully get blizzard to refine and make adjustments to how things are. Disappointing to see that some people are okay with lag.
We have OCE only pvp. How about things get fixed so we can keep it huh?
Hope you guys realise that NA horde queues are worse than OCE, so if they merge not only will we get lag, but horde queues will be even worse.

Thereâs a small handful of players who want merge majority of server does not easiest solution if they donât want to fix the underlying issue is to just let them go to a NA server problem solved win win for both
Why do we even have an oceanic servers to begin with ? if the latency isnât an issue we always had oceanic âtimedâ servers that were hosted in NA ?
The reason is because people wanted to play lag free simple as that and this small handful of people crying now are literally hypocrites cause there playing on these low latency oceanic servers not NA servers
If there âSeriousâ pvpers and want competition / larger playerbase then go to NA simple as that otherwise keep your mouth shut
Too complicated for the derp derps to understand which is why i linked multiple threads from NA complaining about queue times lol issue isnât oceanic population its the faction imbalance coupled with low honor / lack of incentive to play and participate
Tbh for me the biggest issue is still the lack of AV. Everything else is bearable, but itâs currently impossible to get AV queues in OCE no matter what time you queue. That has to change.
If we could see how many players are queing it would be much easier to get games going people see 0 avâs so donât bother queuing i tried to organise twice for both factions to queue and im confident we had 40vs40 but it still didnât pop
Other thing is just increasing honor rewarded in some of these to get more participation wait until AV Weekend i gurantee you we have no issue getting at least 2-3 games or more going
5s is pretty much dead on arrival - the best source of arena points
Most people are just doing the weekend bgs for double honor, everything great. It gives you good variety and every weekend iâm doing a different BG and it pops instantly. No queue problems here. Plus the daily, usually the queues are quick if its double honor or that bgs daily quest. Which to be honest, why would you waste your time doing bgs not giving bonus honor. Blizz are just saving you from your own degenerate lifestyle.
Legit good post mate, I agree with everything you say. There is a huge problem atm and it needs to be addressed. I only play this game to pvp and I donât care much for the âGlad Tittlesâ but I do like to be geard to compete in BGs and world pvp. It sucks that I canât just log in and within 10 mins be in a BG and playing, instead I have hour+ queues and most of the time log off before a pop. You should make a thread with this same post and get some people talking.
I think a 1 time faction transfer with a limit on it so we donât end up sending everyone to the opposite and just reversing the problem.

Oh there is no risk of reversing the issue, 90% of horde wont move because the pve is easier when your the biggest faction, you would need to heavily inflate alliance numbers to cause the table to flip the other way at which point I just undelete my level 60 human paladin 
Re-merge us. Why does rat league arena need 5+ min queues.
Like 150-200 ping isnât gonna stop you being terrible. Please let us actually play the game.
Also f tidy.

I donât think you understand the statistics. Alliance doesnât PVP, so the population doesnât mean anything. You can see this with the 1+ hour queues for Horde on OCE. Nice try, but not very smart.
Idk what ur on but Iâm having 10 min ques as horde on oceanic
Maybe not make uneducated comment on a forum?
Thatâs about all the help you get on these forums. Maybe you should have done your demographics homework on the market of tbc classsics player base for your geographic region and cross referenced it with some survey data on how many of them PvPed. If you had you would of come to the obviously logical conclusion that you needed to roll on NA servers or not even bother. Smh absolutely absurd you didnât see this predictable outcome. Remember Ocean is Blue, or phase 2? Whatâs the rhetoric?
